List of oddities

[Drax]

I noticed a n odd one Last night. I was trying out fighter swarms, to see how well they worked (pants, as it turned out for me) and when on fighter blows up, all of my point defence cannons start firing on the about-to-explode fighter. Really, I think that fighters should not be able to crash into each other, or me. In just one batter I lost 8 of my 12 fighters because they crash into things.

I'll just have to mod it so fighters are twice as powerfull, and twice as big. Less fighters should make them crash less often.

Well...I dont think you do anymore. Anyone else had the thing where you go to a system to a 'destroy a ship' mercenary mission, leave the system cos you got your butt kicked, and when you come back to the system the target you have to kill does not exist?

-auto-firing doesn't seem to work if applied to weapons that shoot ships, like anti-proton beams. They fire maybe once, but not after that.

This is one that I hope gets fixed soon. I want to be able to mod ships with a few really big, non-autofiring weapons with long recharge times, and a whole bunch of autofiring guns that work constantly.

You can also add this:

speed slowing damage and true engine damage behave differently. If you are hit with a speed slowing weapon, you slowly drop down to your new speed. If your engines take damage you drop to your new speed -instantly-.

I'd prefer them both to work like speed-slowing damage does, myself..
